Procedure for the Chinese Hamster V79/Hgprt Assay. The assay usually comprises three test concentrations, each in duplicate, and four vehicle control replicates. Suitable positive controls are ethylmethane sulphonate (—S9) and dimethyl benzanthracene (+S9). V79 cells with a low nominal passage number should be used from frozen stocks to help minimize genetic drift. The procedure described includes a reseeding step for mutation expression.

The induction of a loss or reduction of specific function by transgene expression is not trivial and has found restricted applications. However, a few interesting concepts have been realized overexpression of a receptor to reduce free ligand (Hofmann et al., 1988) expression of transgenes encoding dominant negative mutations expression of antisense RNA (or a ribozyme) or expression of a toxic polypeptide. These latter concepts are discussed in more detail.

Although the colored-adenine system does not require selective measures and poses no problems with mutation expression, routine testing of forward mutation with this systems is tedious and requires many plates to detect weak mutagens.

TABLE 5. Relationship Between Time of Mutation Expression and Mutation Frequency in Chinese Hamster Cells in Culture ... 

There are other factors that may affect the mutation frequency. We have already shown that the cell density, time of addition of selective agent (mutation expression), and concentration of selective agents can modify the final number of induced mutations. The following two situations may further decrease or increase the number of detectable mutations ...

Fig. 3. gives kinetics of recovery for density inhibited cells exposed to H2O2. Here, 4 hr of delay before trypsinization was sufficient to show the maximum recovery. The presence of benzamide clearly inhibited this recovery process. Fig. 4. shows the yield of mutants due to UV irradiation of density inhibited cells. The phenotypic end point selected for the study was resistance to 8-azaguanine. Immediately after UV exposure, cells were diluted for mutation expression or given a delay time before mutation...

After mutation, there is a phase of mutation expression. Mutation expression is very relevant in systems based on the induction of resistance mutation. Resistance at the permease level can be expressed only after functional permeases have been diluted out of the membrane this applies to canavanine or other types of analogue systems.
